    Eminem’s longtime music publisher, Eight Mile Style, has filed a federal lawsuit in Detroit accusing Meta of using 243 of the rapper’s songs—including “Lose Yourself” and “‘ Till I Collapse”—without proper licensing across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

    The complaint, filed Friday (May 30), claims Meta pulled the tracks into its music libraries through a 2020 deal with digital rights firm Audiam, which Eight Mile Style says had no authority to license Eminem’s catalog.

    The publisher alleges Meta’s platforms are not only hosting the music but also pushing it to users through features like “For You” and “Trending,” all while profiting from the exposure.

    According to the Detroit Free Press, the lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a permanent injunction to stop Meta from continuing to use the music.

    Though Eminem himself is not named as a plaintiff, the songs in question span the most commercially successful decade of his career, from 1995 to 2005.

    Eight Mile Style argues that Meta has “brazenly” used the music without securing the rights and is “actively encouraging” users to include the tracks in their content, benefiting from the rapper’s global popularity while bypassing compensation.

    This isn’t the first time Eight Mile Style has taken legal action over Eminem’s music.

    In 2013, the publisher sued Facebook over a promotional video that allegedly used “Under the Influence” without permission. That case was settled out of court.

    Meta, headquartered in California, has not yet responded publicly to the lawsuit.
